Hey folks....
There is another aspect to this which many people likely do not realize.
If you let someone else drive your car and they have an accident...it is
YOUR responsibility.  As far as the insurance company is concerned it was
YOU behind the wheel.  
YOU and YOUR insurance company will be held accountable.  YOUR record will
show that it was YOU that had the accident.  YOUR rates will go up.  YOU
will pay the deductible and any other costs associated with your friend's
mishap.  
I learned this the hard way.
